Dual-Host USB 3.2 Gen 1 Extender over CAT6a — USB-C & USB-B Inputs, 100m/328ft
TX/RX Kit with Selectable Host Switching, FSYNC GPIO, RS-232 & Bi-Directional 24V PoC
Most USB extension deployments force a choice: commit to a modern USB-C host or keep the legacy USB-B controller — but not both. The KanexPro EXT-USBC2XI-100M eliminates that compromise by accepting both a USB-C and a USB-B host on the transmitter, with selectable auto or manual switching, so integrators can serve mixed-generation environments over a single 100m/328ft CAT6a run without adapters, workarounds, or a second extender in the rack.
Built for 24/7 industrial, medical, and institutional deployments, the EXT-USBC2XI-100M delivers USB 3.2 Gen 1 at 5Gbps over CAT6a (F/FTP) to a four-port device cluster at the receiver — 3× USB-A and 1× USB-C — while bi-directional 24V PoC keeps cabling minimal by eliminating the need for local power at the remote end. RS-232 pass-through and FSYNC GPIO support extend automation and synchronized camera control across the full link, making this TX/RX kit equally at home in a factory vision system, a medical cart deployment, or a security workstation.
- USB 3.2 Gen 1 extension at 5Gbps over a single CAT6a (F/FTP) cable up to 100m/328ft — no signal degradation over long runs in EMI-prone environments
- Selectable USB-C and USB-B host inputs on the transmitter with auto and manual switching — bridges modern and legacy host systems without adapters or cable swaps
- Four-port device cluster at the receiver (3× USB-A + 1× USB-C) — supports mixed peripheral deployments including cameras, touch panels, keyboards, and storage
- Bi-directional 24V PoC over CAT6a — eliminates the need for a local power outlet at the receiver, simplifying installation in remote or space-constrained locations
- RS-232 pass-through with 3-pin phoenix connector — integrates legacy serial control devices and automation controllers across the full extension link
- FSYNC GPIO pass-through — enables frame-synchronized industrial camera deployments and multi-sensor automation systems without a separate sync cable run
- Auto and manual host switching modes — supports hands-off failover in unmanned installations or precise operator control in active switching environments
- Dedicated SERVICE port (USB-C) on both TX and RX for in-field firmware updates — keeps deployed systems current without physical recall or bench service
- Plug-and-play operation with no drivers required — supports rapid deployment across Windows, macOS, Linux, and industrial controller environments
